Nike didnt become "nike" in a night. it was a loooong journey. For the first 7-8 years Phil was just a shoe distributor. And he had the legendary Bowerman as a partner. But no matter what, he believed in his company and never gave up. Listened to his gut feeling. Amazing story. I recommend everyone to read his book.
I am new to cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, but I am very interested and curious to start investing in it, although I do feel this is kind of late now. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?
Investing in Bitcoin is the number one thing one should be doing right now, although there are lots of risks the best way to invest is through cryptocurrency and Forex.
Nice story of Phil Knight the founder of Nike. Few people succeed without help in life, Phil Knight received help from Japanese shoe businessman Onitsuka and track and field coach Bill Bowerman. The signing of Basketball superstar michael Jordan and the creation of the Nike Air Jordan line turned nike into a billion dollar corporations.
Starting as a reseller/distributor.. Building connections and saving money. Once he saved a lot he uses the ideas and buid his own brand. This will take great guts and marketing strategy. He is surely an awesome businessman. 👌
The difference between people that make it and don't.... Is a belief in yourself! How many people honestly would have stuck around for YEARS with not profits.
Phil tells of much more complicated and a 13 year struggle in his book than described in this audio. Steve Prefontaine was vitally important in the track world and Bowemann created his shoe - the waffle shoe.
You know, mass production of SHABU from CHINA, with proper management of your govt. ,and killing your business competitors in Philippines is a great job of yours...!!!😂
Nike would have not be without MJ , Nike was Underamour status going down at that era while converse and Adidas was on top of the shoe game with magic and bird etc The game changer was NIke made a deal with the Future of Basketball & Sports that is MJ, never was an athlete that has the charm and very competitive edge who brought basketball and being athlete to the world, combine with most of all very low cost mass production of shoe. So That's how you build a multi-billion dollar company Boom !
Oh my I admire his down to earth character and swallowing of pride, he asked his first employee to name to name the brand...NIKE , later outsourced the logo to a university student. ..thus awsome, no wonder Nike sprung up in business. ...go Phil
Phil Knight didn't just stumble onto Onitsuka. He was introduced by a man named Frank Endo who at the time was importing Onitsuka gymnastics shoes to America. Mr. Endo told me that the first Nike logo was half an arrow. But it was difficult for the sewers to sew the right angles. He said he recommended curves instead of angles and drew a picture of a half arrow into the swoosh. I asked him, are you telling me that you actually invented the Nike logo? He just smiled. I didn't know how to share this story until just watching this video.
The original drawing he got from the student at Oregon is on display in the Jaqua Academic Center on campus in Eugene, OR along with the first pair of Nike shoes and the shoes Steve Prefontaine used to break 4 minutes. It was the swoosh.
My recommendation to everyone is to read the book! it's not just another autobiography. It 's one heck of a journey with travel, highs, lows, love, heartbreak, trouble and a fucking roller coaster ride. Thoroughly enjoyed the book!
Remember when Nike had more than the same 10 sneakers models????? Now they release one new color of a model they have had for years and they make a big deal about it!. I'd say the most innovative years for Nike and the sneaker industry were between the years 1987-1991. Just look at the shoe store catalogs at that time, and even look at Nike's catalogue at that time...there was A LOT more innovation and A LOT more variety.
NIke and Reebok were both equally desirable brands and then Air Jordan's crushed Reebok. Reebok tried to respond with their Pump boots but couldn't match in popularity.

It's starts off pretty tight, then quickly falls to a weird superficial mess. It's quite badly-(ghost)written, and you finish thinking you just got told a rambling, semi-pointless story as a diversion to the real history. Apart from mad respect for Bowerman, I was mainly left with the sense that Phil is a dick of a human being. IMO, of course.
Would have never guessed that Nike shoes originated in Japan. I know they had a contract but kinda surprised Japan didn’t sue for taking their designs, modifying it, and selling it under a different name.
That One Man is Michael Jordan, Nike NEEDED him. It was in 1984 that Nike's popularity grew when Michael Jordan started endorsing Nike. Phil Knight owned Nike, but MJ made Nike. They just became popular bc of MJ and people only bought the shoes because of MJ, everyone wanted to be like Mike. The shoes that the people bought was the shoes with the Jordan logo not with the Nike logo.
It was all Bill Bowerman, he was the guy in a position of influence. Pretty much like an influencer selling things today. It is going to work if you already have a name for yourself.
Nike was already big prior to Jordan's entry to the NBA. The only thing MJ should be given credit for is the fact that HE WAS THE ONE WHO CAUSED NIKE TO DOMINATE THE NBA. But let's be honest here. Mike is not the main cause of Nike's rise to dominance.
@@oscarmike5707 it is true Michael Jordan is the sole reason why Nike became prominent. I am already 45 kid and during the early 80s Nike is a poor man's shoes.
@@parengthonycastillo4272 thank you, I remember the top sneakers in the early 80's were : Adidas Pumas Nike, Reebok, Fila were all distant in competition. The most popular Nike sneakers are basketball sneakers, and when we're talking basketball it's MJ
Onitsuka became Asics. Still developing very good running shoes, continues to innovate unlike Nike who spends more time and money on marketing their shoes. At that rate, Nike might run out of ideas and probably reverse engineer an Asics shoe again like they did many years ago.
Japanese shoes could do to German shoes what Japanese cameras did to German cameras. They just need to have better marketing (but then that may eat into the budget for R&D). I know because when I was coaching children I had to buy football (not soccer) shoes. Before doing so, I tested every big brand (Adidas, Puma, Nike, Asics, Mizuno, etc,) to see which one would allow me to move best. Mizuno were the most comfortable and gave me the best freedom of movement. Next time, you see a jogger, check what brand shoes they are wearing. I guarantee that the majority of the time it will Mizuno or Asics. That's because people who run (and are not duped by marketing strategies) want the best.
My first pair of Nike running shoes was the Nile LD 1000 back in 1976. It was a great pair of running shoes for its time. It offered broad waffle soles for great stability. It's successor was the Nike LDV which was introduced around 1978 which was also a great running shoe, but the soles were a bit narrow than the 1000. When the first generation of Nike Air came out sometime around 1979-1980 those shoes were a pile of junk. During my beach run, which was 10 miles, I noticed the soles were coming apart from the mid soles. Around the 6 mile run I had to stop and walk home. The beach salt water was too harsh for those shoes! Sometime in the mid 1980's as Nike was becoming commercialized, the quality in distance running shoes was not there anymore. They seem to focused more on sneakers and sport clothing.
Yes,all on the back of cheap labor in terrible working conditions in Asia. As the labor costs rose in Korea,Nike moved to Indonesia or Vietnam to avail of even cheaper labor. So much for loyalty!
Well I buy Nike because my feet don't hurt in them when walking. The "Air" thing. They're expensive and only last 2 years. I wish they'd make quality shoes that last more than only 2 years.
I love how the use of photographs are made into a documentary video. The focus change from one to another and so on and so fort. Does anybody know what program might have been used?
*From Wikipedia:* In September 1983, nearly three years after the company went public, Knight invited Carolyn Davidson to a company lunch. There, he presented her with a diamond ring engraved with the Swoosh and an envelope filled with 500 shares of Nike stock (which have since split into 32,000 shares). Of the gift, Davidson says, _"this was something rather special for Phil to do, because I originally billed him and he paid that invoice."_ Davidson went on to be known as _"The Logo Lady"_

During my beach run, which was 10 miles, I noticed the soles were coming apart from the mid soles. Around the 6 mile run I had to stop and walk home. The beach salt water was too harsh for those shoes! Sometime in the mid 1980's as Nike was becoming commercialized, the quality in distance running shoes was not there anymore. They seem to focused more on sneakers and sport clothing.
I dont care...how the brand get famous...i just like the shoes...i feel comfy in them....in 15 years soo far....i have 300 pairs of nike....😉
Yes,all on the back of cheap labor in terrible working conditions in Asia. As the labor costs
rose in Korea,Nike moved to Indonesia or Vietnam to avail of even cheaper labor. So much for loyalty!
Well I buy Nike because my feet don't hurt in them when walking. The "Air" thing. They're expensive and only last 2 years.
I wish they'd make quality shoes that last more than only 2 years.
Tbh mine lasted 5years n still going
Brilliant Video, Well done Phil Knight.
Damn the way you link in your sponsored videos are so smooth! 👍
I love how the use of photographs are made into a documentary video. The focus change from one to another and so on and so fort. Does anybody know what program might have been used?
Could you share with us how you create videos?

*From Wikipedia:*
In September 1983, nearly three years after the company went public, Knight invited Carolyn Davidson to a company lunch. There, he presented her with a diamond ring engraved with the Swoosh and an envelope filled with 500 shares of Nike stock (which have since split into 32,000 shares). Of the gift, Davidson says, _"this was something rather special for Phil to do, because I originally billed him and he paid that invoice."_ Davidson went on to be known as _"The Logo Lady"_
How much was the end up being worth?
Current Nike stock valued at around US$73. Multiplied with 32,000.
Lost Souls seems like about 2 mil, in modern prices. But I don't know back then
You are not that far off.
